Recently it was my privilege to visit with the Distinguished Faith Group Leader of the Fort Hood Texas Open Circle Michele Waldon. As High Priestess of this group Michele is the leader of the largest and oldest military Open Circle anywhere in the Nation. Most remarkable in this meeting was this individuals seeming lack of insight into how extraordinary her efforts are.

This Open Circle endured an assault by Rep. Barr many years ago and has since always been in a high profile position being on the largest military base in the country. Military regulations require that the circle accept all comers, which leaves Ms. Walden to operate as high Priestess for individuals of many paths. I cannot imagine the effort it takes to create and lead a local circle in such circumstances. Add to this the fact that they are operating within a military culture that values conformity highly and you have quite a challenge.

My hat is off to Michele Waldon, a great Pagan Leader providing service to both Pagans and her country at Fort Hood Texas.

If you would like to provide assistance in the form of Pagan materials to this Open Circle please contact me via e-mail
